Is there scope for growth in the transcription business?


Is there scope for growth in the transcription business?
A. The usual stages of growth within an organization for a medical transcriptionist are as follows:

1.    Trainee Medical Transcriptionist
2.    Junior Medical Transcriptionist
3.    Senior Medical Transcriptionist
4.    Junior Quality Analyst
5.    Senior Quality Analyst
6.    Deputy Team Leader
7.    Team Leader
8.    Project Manager
9.    Operations Manager

While the first five positions are wholly dependent on a person’s ability to produce a document with at least 98.5 to 99.5% accuracy, the latter four positions require management and people-handling skills. The stages are the same for a person wishing to pursue a career in legal transcription. After the fifth stage, with suitable qualifications, one can also diversify into the training and development aspects of transcription.

Who can do transcription jobs?


Who can do transcription jobs?


Anybody with a good understanding of day-to-day English can become a general or media transcriptionist. To become a medical or legal transcriptionist, however, one needs to know the basics of both subjects.

Transcription is a good career choice and provides excellent chances for growth and promotion. It is also a viable career option for housewives, pensioners and even college students who need some extra pocket money or simply want to keep themselves occupied. 

  

The main requirements are:


i.    A good understanding of English grammar and syntax
ii.    A typing speed of 60 words per minute or above
iii.    Excellent listening skills
iv.    A familiarity with MS-Word and other Office related software.

While there are a few companies that provide transcription training to freshers and later absorb them, most companies prefer new entrants to have at least a year or two of prior experience with transcription.

Who needs transcription services ?


Who needs transcription services?

A. Medical transcription :

 Insurance companies request patient records from their customers’ doctors in order to have their own physicians check the accuracy of such reports and comment on the advisability of a particular course of treatment for such patients.

When a patient’s doctor recommends a certain course of treatment, the insurance company’s doctor (ICD) studies and analyses the report of the original doctor and concludes whether that particular procedure or treatment is necessary or not. The ICD can also recommend cheaper medicines or alternative ways of dealing with the patient’s problem. This way the insurance company saves a lot of money.

The patient also benefits in two ways:

  •     He/she is given the benefit of a second opinion without paying anything extra; and/or
  •     When the patient’s insurance company suggests a cheaper alternative, the amount of money deducted by the insurance company from the principal sum (through paying for medical expenses) is reduced.

Legal transcription services are generally required by attorneys, lawyers, paralegals, law firms, etc.

Media transcription and media monitoring services are generally necessary for media companies, various industries, political individuals or parties, sportspersons and sports groups, etc.
